It is with heavy hearts we share the sad news of the passing of Christine Moores, founding member of the Conception Bay North Skating Club, former Skate Canada Newfoundland and Labrador Chairperson and past Skate Canada Board Member. Chris’s passionate and visionary leadership inspired the skating community in many ways, especially in club and program development, sound governance and to simply embrace the joy of skating. She will be missed by many. Obituary online at http://www.carnells.com/?obituaries=bertha-christine-moores
